Subject is Dejah Thoris, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Princess of Mars, who appeared most saliently in five Burroughs novels as the love interest of John Carter. Here, Dejah is rather fruitlessly threatening some bad guy aircraft with her knife, though looking very fetching, and not wearing a layered look at all, in the process. See scan.
